, you want me to. -but Just now when
j. ve are vlelng with each other In our
efforts to praise his older brothers.
and some of them are preoious little

, congress. Penrose, Lodge , and Srtioot will eontrol
the seiiato wlule we have Nicholas Joiigwvxtth's word for
it that the rciSUbieaij steam-rollej' tactivs in the house are
'.'worse -than Ciwojiiauu... lie a,dds: '''Our progress has
been ba'kvard--to the days .of su-ealled Cauiuiuism' and
then smne. This sort of leadership is iio.t .what the ve
publieans of the countay have a right to expect." '
But it is what they are going to get. The stand-patter,
like the Bourbon, is a bone-iiead, who never. lear,ns and
never forgets. 'His visiou is limited to his own narrow
horizou. lie cannot sense Avhat the people desire. This
was .shown, plainly enough in 1912 wlum lie .defied pro-;

cerning his ability, G if ford Pinehut, a fellow republican,
says '' while Penrose in 22 years of sen'iee in the senate,
has made himself the - most ' consistent and conspicuous
servant of special privilege and opponent of the common
welfare in .our national life, nut a single piece of . construc

of nine republicans to twelve democrats sou house com

If the stand-patters are foolish enough, to ignore the
wishes of the country and make the non-partisan issue of
a league of nations a party issue and nso their' congres

California will be reimbursed for their outlay made at the
instance of the government in developing minerals needed
during the war. It required a long, hard fight in congress
to push5 the measure through heore adjourmnent but
"Our iGeorge'- made a long and vigorous fight for the
miners, both before the .committees and in the senate and
as one of the conferees, held up the jbill the miners inter
ests were protected.- - . " . , :
The salieut.icatures of. the Cliamberlain bill, which was
signed by the president hefore his departure, provide an
appropriation of $8,500,000 for the payment of losses sus
tained in the development of chrome and manganesse ore
deposits in compliance with requests of the government to
supply urgent war needs. Claims must be filed within
three months, so miners must lose no time in presenting
them to the secretary of the interior, who is authorized to
adjust, liquidate and pay them, as he shall determine just.
No claims will be paid unless the expenditures were
made in good faith on property which contained chrome hi
sufficient .quantities to bq of commercial importance, and
these investments must have been made during the actual
period of the war April ,6, 1917 to Novemebr 12, 1918, 'in
legitimate attempts to produce no profits being allowed
and no speculative investui&nts recognized. The govern
ment retains the right of recovery ,on fraudulent settle
ments and. in determining the net losses, the values of
ores on hand and salvage of plant must be considered."
